First half draw

Both teams have played first half draw in one of their last two meetings.

Following the resumption of Serie A after the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Pisa are set to host Hellas Verona at the Arena Garibaldi – Stadio Romeo Anconetani on Saturday.

The Nerazzurri have had a poor start to the season and are currently sitting in the relegation zone. They entered this clash having suffered a 4-0 defeat to Bologna in their last league outing. 

Meanwhile, the Mastini are also without a win this season, most recently experiencing a 2-0 defeat away to Roma and are also sitting in the relegation zone. 

With both teams having their players return from the international break, they will be looking to clinch their first win of the season when they face each other.

Pisa vs Hellas Verona prediction: Full-time draw expected

Key statistics

  • Their last two meetings ended in a full-time draw.
  • One of their last two meetings ended in a draw at half-time.
  • In their last encounter, both teams scored against each other.

Correct score prediction: Pisa 1-1 Hellas Verona

Based on both teams' current tendency to draw and their difficulties in scoring goals, we are predicting a 1-1 draw. The Nerazzurri have failed to score in four of their last five matches, while the Mastini have drawn three of their last four Serie A contests. We believe the defensive approach from both sides, coupled with their lack of clinical finishing, will result in the points being shared.

  • Home: 6/4 (2.50) – 40.0%
  • Draw: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.3%

Despite Pisa’s poor form this season, M'Bala Nzola has been an important player for the Italian side. The Angola star has scored two goals in all competitions this season. When given the opportunity, he can score to hurt the opponent. His experience could be key to the Nerazzurri's performance against Hellas Verona.
